Shane,,,I like vintage because I am VINTAGE,,,,old bikes with white walls and painted rims an spokes are just my kind of ride.,,,,,,,the red,,,white,,,black combo is a real eye catcher on this web site and I’ll bet you’ve turned a few heads while crankin down the boulivard,,,,,,the low stretched out rear end with wide bars and sporty tank give the bike that old time down and dirty look like Marlin Brando would ride ,,,,you get a thumbs up and a cold beer if ever your down my way,,,,great build,,,,,RJ

Thanks for the compliments guys, it was alot of fun to build and even more to ride.

American—not sure what you mean about missed no brainer details. I do get what your saying about the “bike builder” thing though. I, however, have been customizing cars and bikes for the last 16 years. This just happens to be my first XS. Oh and my business is definitely not booming but it does make me a little extra on the side. Don’t take it the wrong way, I’m not offended by your comments just wanted to clarify a bit.

From the gas tank down looks like 2 different bikes. It’s clean.

Beautifully put together man. The exhausts remind me of the pipe work on Mike Britten’s (RIP) racers in the 90s. She looks like she’d handle well too.

Nice job. The exhaust is a bit much for me but it is definately unique.

Always amazes me how easily you can a customize one XS and instantly become a “bike builder” with a booming business. There’s a lot of no brainer details you missed but overall good effort put into it, especially the pipes.
